Just because everyone turned up from Euston in this case simply confirms what I was saying - Londoners thought it was worth making the trip, people from say, Bolton, would have decided Salford was difficult to get to and stayed at home. When considering cities the ease with which the station can be reached from everywhere should be the priority, be it Manchester Piccadilly or London Liverpool Street.

Yes, but if everyone is travelling there via Euston, then somewhere
near Euston would be a far better venue.
